Locke agrees to cooperate with the vampire hunter, but he's not happy about it. He wants to know more about the vampire's plan to capture the city. The vampire hunter tells him that randall is back in the city and has joined forces with lehman. The two of them are planning to attack the underground city, and albert has joined their forces. He's also a double insurance policy against albert's attack, since he'll be able to tell the vampire everything he needs to know about the city's vampire population. He also wants to get back his love from yun cheng, so he wants to help albert kill albert. He tells albert to take out the vampire-killing poison from his body, since albert will undoubtedly die if he does. albert says that he will help him when the vampire comes, and that he and locke should be more careful about hiding the poison from albert and lehman, since the vampire will be coming soon. They'll attack the vampire council together, and they'll also attack the parliament, to relieve the vampire population's pressure on the city
